Hey guys! I stayed up almost all night to finish this story but I did it because I know you guys want to know what happens. So here it is. Please write comments on what you think. :)
So far Wally and Artemis were not having any good success in their search for the missing little girl. Twice they already argued which place to search next and then they stopped once in the kitchen to get a "super charged snack". Artemis patience for Wally was slowly deteriorating after a while as she tried her best not to reach her hand into the kitchen and drag out Wally by his costumed collar. She huffed and placed her back on the wall outside of the kitchen walls swearing on Sportsmaster's life if he would not hurry up she would grab the bow on her back and shoot him with one of her own arrows. Finally after a full agonizing 30 minutes Wally waddled out the kitchen with his arms full of every kind of junk food you could find at a store and a chocolate bar in his mouth.
Artemis groaned at the sight of Wally and marched her way on to him. Wally looked happy to see her until she snatched the chocolate bar out of his mouth. "What do you think you're doing? This isn't some picnic or all-you-can-eat buffet we've got to continue looking for Robin's little sister, for all we know she could be in-"
"Terrible danger. I know." Wally began to walk ahead already trying to open a bag of chips with his mouth. "You know you're gonna get wrinkles if you keep worrying all the time besides I'm sure she's fine. Probably using her super powers or something."
Artemis jogged up beside Wally and took the bag he was wresting with his mouth and opened it and put some of the content in his mouth and her own. "What makes you think she has super powers?" "Well she's Robbie's little sister and I'm sure he has super powers so she may also have super powers."
The archer beside him slugged him in back while he whined she took another bag full of jelly beans out of his arms and popped some in her mouth. "Arty why would you do that, you know I'm sensitive." Artemis just rolled her eyes. "Because that theory is stupid. How can Robin and that sweet little girl have super powers? And I don't like being called "Arty". The redhead regained his composure and grinned his boyish grin and using his free hand he grabbed another bag; this time Cheetos and offered some to Artemis who generously accepted them.
"Well do you really want to know my theory?" incurred Wally. Artemis stopped chewing for an instant. Her eyebrows creased together in thought before finally nodding in approve. This only fueled Wally's excitement and went full blast on telling her about how he believed that Batman somehow rubbed Kryptonite off Robin and now he had the super powers of Superman except he hid them from everyone and how the little girl was probably trained by Batman and on and on.
To be truthful Artemis spaced out a little while after Wally started talking. Although she knew he could be a bit lively and always full of energy which was most likely a side effect of his super speed she almost found it cute. Sometimes. "Heh. Well look at that I may have a slight crush on him." Artemis pondered over whether there was a possibility but dismissed the notion. The pair continued down the hall in silence. The only sound heard was there munching, their eyes peeled for any little girl or suspicion movement.
They came to an abrupt stop in front of doorless doorway to the grotto where fallen superheroes holograms were lit up in memory. "Think she could be down there?" Wally broke the silence that surrounded them. "Only one way to find out." Whispered the green archer.
Artemis crouched down and soundlessly grasped her bow across her back and an arrow from her quiver being prepared for anything that might attack them. With Wally close behind her she continued down the stairs fear and excitement gathering up in her chest with each step. She was about to take another step when she heard muffled voices from beyond the stairs.
"Hey what's going on out there?" inquired Wally. "I don't know. Let me take a look." Artemis was about to turn around before catching something move behind. Turning her head sharply she looked just in time to see Wally repeatedly pushed the lighting symbol on his chest and watched the black suck away the bright yellow out of his costume. This caused her to huff in irritation. "What? I like stealth mode." Wally whispered in defense. It took some willpower not to roll her eyes and returned her attention to the matter on hand. Taking a step forward she peeked beyond the stone wall just in time to see Captain Marvel walking up the stairs holding a little girl's hand. "So there she is. That's good, at least she's safe."
Still crouching she looked around the room for any other signs of life and was about to leap into light with her bow ready until a pair of strong arms grabbed her waist, pulling her back from jumping. Panic fluttered into her chest, using arms she broke off Wally's grip on her and turned to him whispering in outrage. "What the heck was that for we could gone-." The now black speedster put a finger to his lips and pointed the figure with its back towards near the hologram of Blue Beetle.
"Who is that?" mouthed Artemis.
"I don't know check." Wally soundlessly replied.
Artemis turned back and looked closer at the unknown person. Artemis squinted her eyes hoping to recognize the person- no woman standing near a hologram of Aquagirl, wearing a green tunic with a sword at its side and had black hair that seemed to be talking to an unseen person. The unidentified person finally turned her head to the side exposing the mask she was wearing.
Artemis give a gasp upon realizing her mistake she quickly covered her mouth with her free hand and using her other hand she placed back her bow and arrow back to the its place. Wally jerked up from playing with goggles and leaned forward to see the commotion. His jaw dropped in surprise. It was Cheshire. "Of all the people in the world why does she have to be here?" Without turning her head to behind her Artemis whispered "We've got to warn the others about Cheshire being here, she may not be alone."
"Your right kid she's not." Replied a masculine voice behind them. Artemis eyes widened but she didn't even have a chance to look behind her. Because the minute she reached to grab an arrow she was struck on the head and blacked out with a screaming Wally beside her.
